National Affairs: Our Hope, Our Strength

On behalf of the A. F. of L. teamsters', chauffeurs' and stablemen's
union, last week hoary President Daniel J. Tobin presented James
Aloysius Farley with a check for $1,000 to be used by the Democratic
Party "as a mark of appreciation of what the Roosevelt Administration
has accomplished for Labor." Labor's gift to the Democratic Party came
at an odd time, for Mr. Tobin's boss, William Green, and Mr. Farley's
boss, Franklin Roosevelt, had come politely but perilously near the
parting of the ways.
